I am just a songwriter/musician/singer/producer who writes a few songs every now and then. I have since retired from road work and mostly do studio recordings and I have my own home demo studio which you hear music created in it from time to time. I will post some demos of my own and maybe some demos of co-writes or co-producing. It's just what I feel like posting at the time. Thanks for stopping by! ;-)

Lyrics
Title: OutLaw over an InLaw lyrics Written by: Roy Harris, Jeff Knight, BMI © 2007 music by: Jeff Knight, BMI © 2007 Country Pop Male Demo, Target Artists: Toby Keith, Josh Turner, Trace Adkins 1st Verse: Had hoped and prayed for a southern belle now that I got her, she’s giving me hell it’s honey do this and honey do that can’t she see I’m taking a nap move the couch! are you out of your mind? already moved it a hundred times it’s perfectly fine, leave it there Don’t want it too close to my easy chair Chorus: Let's talk about wives and their mothers! cuz Dangit I’d rather have brothers She don’t understand “leave me alone” She’ll gripe and complain and stay on the phone I’ll be damned if her mom comes over to stay cuz I’d take an outlaw over an in-law any day 2nd Verse: Lord what did I do to deserve this life? I wanted a woman and you gave me a wife sittin’ here thinkin about the good ole days When I was still single and had it made I could come and go as I please Hang out with my buddies shootin the breeze I never thought it would come to this And to think it all started with one little kiss Chorus: Let's talk about wives and their mothers! cuz Dangit I’d rather have brothers She don’t understand “leave me alone” She’ll gripe and complain and stay on the phone I’ll be damned if her mom comes over to stay cuz I’d take an outlaw over an in-law any day bridge: Her mother and sisters are all taking sides They’re trying their damnedest to tan my hide But I got news I’m calling my kin And all my outlaws will ride again. lead break mini-Chorus: She don’t understand “leave me alone” She’ll gripe and complain and stay on the phone I’ll be damned if her mom comes over to stay cuz I’d take an outlaw over an in-law Tag: Yea, I’ll never let her mom come over to stay, cuz I’ll take an outlaw over an in-law any day.
